Go with your instinct, then attempt to unlock everything later is my recommendation. Throughout the Before Your Eyes journey, you will have the option to interact with a few outcomes, changing the gameplay slightly and unlocking achievements if you’re motivated in that way, but it does warrant repeat plays. The story offers a linear approach, and if you were bored, you could predict the path it takes – only I found the story so spellbinding that I may as well have been one of the souls at the start of the game going with the flow and unassuming. Rebellious, but an innocent type who plays a part in his development. In so many ways, Before Your Eyes broke down my defences as I watched the story unfold, playing on the same heartstrings as The Land Before Time managed to doĪn only child, your parents are your world, as well as your neighbour, Chloe, who is almost the polar opposite of Ben. In brief, the story relives pivotal moments of your life that defined you, focusing on photography, music and art. Even if you end up reading another review or playthrough that shows the conclusion, you need to play it for yourself, without interruptions, if you can help it. I’m not the kind to give spoilers, but re-reading through my initial draft of this Before Your Eyes review, I felt there were a few hints where the story is going. The ferryman reeled me in immediately, but both Ben’s parents were superb.
The ‘actors’ in the story fulfil their parts, almost ad-libbing in such believable rhetoric, it’s faultless as far as I’m concerned. Conversations inform you of the key things you need to know, but hang around long enough, and you’ll pick up nuances as if the camera was left rolling. This Before Your Eyes game is like a table read of skilled actors, producing a lucid clarity, but a spontaneity that is natural as honest dialogue.
The advantage with the mouse is the ability to linger around longer in a scene, as the characters in the game are just so wonderful to listen to, somewhat voyeuristic, but in a poetic sort of way. You don’t need anything special as a standard setup should suffice, but rest assured you can play without one, which was my first experience, using a mouse. The game is designed to be played with a webcam as it tracks your eye movements and blinking.

The webcam or cursor will track your movements, and a literal blink or click will propel you forward in a series of memoriesīut before describing the events, it’s essential to know how innovative Before Your Eyes is. But before this can happen, he wants to know more about you, and to do that, the story shifts to your experiences growing up, very much like your life flashing before your eyes.
He proceeds to inform you that you will be taken to the guardian, and pending you pass the test, will be accepted into her realm. Without any features or appendages other than a suggested eye, all you can do is blink to acknowledge your understanding. Told from a first-person perspective, it appears that your soul has been selected, perhaps at random, by a wolf-like ferryman.
